Girl Child's Right to Education Project

Affordable solar lamps will be reached out to 8500 school children in 45 schools by end of 2013. The Girl Child’s Right to Education Project (though boys are not excluded) is initiated by Vi Agroforestry, supported by Barefoot Power Uganda Ltd and funded by Radio Music fund from Sweden. Teachers, pupils, parents and school management committees in 45 schools will be introduced to the use of solar energy as a source of power in education system. The project aims to reduce the use of kerosene lamps,

improving students’ performance and health being. 20 schools participating in the project will be established to become a solar energy demonstration center. Barefoot Power Uganda will supply them with products at a subsidized price for selling at a small profit.
